                            VOTE EXPLANATION

 Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I was unable to vote today on three 
amendments to the Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill, 
H.R. 2028.
  Had I been present, I would have voted yes on Senator Merkley's 
amendment No. 3812, to provide additional funding for wind energy 
projects, and yes on Senator Reid's amendment No. 3805, to fund water 
conservation programs in the Colorado River Basin.
  Lastly, I would have voted no on Senator Flake's amendment No. 3820, 
as it decreases funding for Army Corps of Engineers construction 
projects, which include flood and storm damage reduction, shore 
protection, and ecosystem restoration projects that are vital to 
numerous areas in Virginia.
